206: Another necromancer
While thinking this, Meina suddenly saw Gu Qinghan looking at her:
"Do you want to change your pants?"
This question left Meina a bit confused, but she quickly nodded.
The pants she was currently wearing were already covered in stains and a foul smell, but she hadn't dared to bring it up earlier.
The reason she had survived until now was definitely not just her body, but also her wisdom.
To be frank, if Gu Qinghan asked her to do anything at this moment, she would do it.
But just as she thought Gu Qinghan was about to assign her some impossible task, Gu Qinghan suddenly said:
"Get some good rest. Tomorrow, you might need to try opening a portal.
You're right, we humans should help each other."
Meina was stunned. She absolutely did not believe that the man in front of her could be so kind.
Such a person must surely want to monopolize all the resources in the entire Secret Realm.
Suddenly, she realized a problem.
She had told him earlier that opening a portal would attract a siege from the monsters in the Secret Realm.
But the current situation was that those monsters seemed to have given up their attack on Gu Qinghan.
Could this guy be trying to lure monsters using this method?
It must be!
She suddenly felt that this might be an opportunity for her, a chance to survive until the very end in this apocalypse.
Since the apocalypse, Meina had seen many crazy and capable people.
However, compared to Gu Qinghan, their brilliance seemed to dim...
"diamond-grade... which genius opened this Secret Realm?"
On the edge of a basin, far from Gu Qinghan, a scruffy man was cursing and sitting on the ground eating.
His name was Zhang Kuang, and he was also a Secret Realm Peeker.
His talent was that he could get a hint about the current Secret Realm every once in a while.
The hint he had just received informed him that this Secret Realm was diamond-grade!
He had entered several Secret Realms before, but the highest-grade one was only a silver-grade Secret Realm.
And a diamond-grade Secret Realm required a gold-grade secret realm key!
He finished the food in his hand, rubbed his temples, and muttered to himself:
"I hope the opener isn't found by that guy. That guy must have killed quite a few people already.
Moreover, he can open at least two Secret Realm passages, so it's highly likely he has a special talent."
Zhang Kuang had also entered several Secret Realms before, and by chance, he had once seen a special Secret Realm Peeker.
The other party must have noticed him at the time, but was unable to attack him due to being in combat.
Zhang Kuang watched as that guy opened a passage and released monsters that did not belong to that Secret Realm.
The other party later tried to pursue him, but because Zhang Kuang was already prepared, he survived without much danger.
However, Zhang Kuang later saw the other party from a distance once more, and the other party was already able to release monsters from two Secret Realms he had seen.
One must know that Secret Realm Peekers only have inherent advantages within a Secret Realm.
If that mysterious Secret Realm Peeker continued to develop, he would find him sooner or later.
Zhang Kuang had no choice; every time he entered a Secret Realm, he was on tenterhooks, yet he had to enter.
After all, at this time, not getting stronger was essentially a slow death.
This Secret Realm is diamond-grade.
If this Secret Realm was also controlled by the other party, he could be certain that the other party would become powerful to an unimaginable extent.
At that time, he would only have two choices left.
One was to continue entering subsequent Secret Realms, but constantly bear the risk of being found and silenced by the other party.
The other was to never enter a Secret Realm again, quietly watching others grow stronger until he was gradually eliminated.
Therefore, when he discovered that this Secret Realm was diamond-grade, a thought immediately sprouted in his mind:
Find the opener of this Secret Realm, inform him of the information he knew, and even ally with him.
Being able to open such a powerful Secret Realm, the other party's strength was beyond doubt.
He didn't want to die, so the one who had to die was that Secret Realm Peeker whose secret he had discovered.
"It seems like a lot of insects went in that direction just now. Should I go and check?"
Zhang Kuang turned in one direction. Just now, he felt many monsters passing through the sky.
Such a large-scale monster riot was, more often than not, caused by the Secret Realm's opener; this was based on experience.
But what if that person also discovered the monster riot and went to that place?
Zhang Kuang gritted his teeth, and quickly made a decision in his heart.
Instead of being indecisive here, it was better to act directly.
However, everything would have to wait until daybreak.
And just as Zhang Kuang made up his mind, in this Secret Realm, others also made similar decisions.
They all discovered the monster riot and heard that short sound.
For a time, the bandit Gu Qinghan unknowingly became the target of more than one person.
Time slowly passed. When Gu Qinghan opened his eyes again, it was already slightly bright.
He looked at Meina and Kim Taeyong, who were surrounded by a group of skeletons in the distance. Their faces were a bit haggard, and they seemed not to have rested well.
But thinking about it, it was understandable; being surrounded by a group of terrifying skeletons wielding giant axes, anyone who could sleep well might be abnormal.
At the beginning of last night, he pretended to be asleep, wanting to see if Meina had any intention or means to leave.
The result was somewhat surprising; Meina was very obedient, only secretly crying for a short while in the middle of the night.
Seeing Gu Qinghan approaching, Meina immediately stood up, and at the same time, patted Kim Taeyong next to her.
Gu Qinghan glanced at the two of them. At this moment, there was no longer any hint of defiance in their eyes.
He nodded with satisfaction; such people would save him a lot of trouble.
"Eat something. Soon, you'll need to open the portal."
Gu Qinghan threw two pieces of insect meat and water to the two of them, and also half a bag of opened kimchi.
This was what he had promised before.
To his surprise, the two of them, with the kimchi, ate both pieces of insect meat until nothing was left.
Looking at their expressions, the suffering they had experienced when eating insect meat before was gone.
"Is this the correct way to eat insect meat?"
Gu Qinghan was a little puzzled, and curiosity drove him to try another piece of insect meat.
This time, however, he ate it with kimchi.
"Ugh..."
Gu Qinghan swore that he would never touch another bite of insect meat again.
However, Gu Qinghan finally understood one thing: it seemed that people from Kimchi Country truly had an almost fanatical love for kimchi.
Meina, having eaten, now appeared exceptionally docile. She was very clear about her current situation.
She had entered the Secret Realm opened by the other party and had just been captured.
Only by performing better could she win some benefits for herself.
As well as her own life and everything in the future.
The other party was not a person completely without principles, which was already a very rare quality in the apocalypse.
She hesitated for a moment, glanced at the skeletons beside Gu Qinghan, and said:
"Your ability seems a bit different from a Necromancer in our country..."
Gu Qinghan was originally observing the three black mists in his necromantic space; those were three well-fed Death Mutated Creatures.
Hearing Meina's words, he suddenly looked over and asked with interest:
"You've seen a Professional with abilities similar to mine?"
Meina nodded, then slowly said:
"Yes, just a few days before I came in, I only saw him from a distance once, only seeing his back.
He was also a man, and at that time, he was slaughtering a residential building.
However, his skeletons emitted some black-red flames, which looked very terrifying from afar."
Gu Qinghan's heart stirred. He already knew from his Class Mentor that someone was a step faster than him.
Could this Necromancer Meina mentioned be the person who saw the Class Mentor before him?
